FUNNY STORY

Sponsored by Grandmas Staying Sane in the Time of Trump

After cheating on his wife for a woman half of his age, Walter (Matthew Glave, “Argo”, FX’s “Better Things”) is facing a mid-life crisis. When he decides to reconnect with his daughter (Jana Winternitz, “The Thinning”) he invites himself to stay with her in Big Sur, and sets off on a journey up the Central Coast with his daughter’s friend Kim (Emily Bett Rickards, CW’s “Arrow”) who is dealing with her own crisis. Direct from its 2018 premiere at Slamdance, “Funny Story” teaches us about the destructive power of narcissism, the healing power of forgiveness, and our willingness to do karaoke after drinking enough tequila. Comedy/Drama. 84 min. USA. WEBSITE
